First pitch is at 7:05 pm tonight against the Red Sox. Last night more than 27,000 fans turned out to watch the Orioles beat the Blue Jays.

Tonight, Orioles players will toss baseballs into the stands during batting practice and the lucky fans who receive a specially marked baseball will be invited, along with a guest, to watch the post-game fireworks from the field.

The music for the fireworks show will be a compilation of songs chosen by Orioles fans. Previously, the Orioles asked fans via Facebook and Twitter what songs they would like to hear played during the post-game fireworks and selected songs based on those requests.
